Really?!
No, but is this your first time playing a King game? They are pretty much the worst F2P (i.e. P2W) scams of them all, and I truly despise them.

Hook the phone up to a PC, see if you can find something that looks like a save file in the game's app data (should be under Android/data/com.developername.gamename/ or similar), and copy it over. If you can't find anything like that, you probably can't get to those files without rooting.

I knew they had some dome scummy things as a company but this was my first time playing one of their games.

That page is blank for me. Only for certain regions, I guess.

Candy Crush is the same. I played it for a bit during boring commutes, just to kill time, and the game is about 90% luck-based and 10% puzzle skill. I never spent a single cent on it of course, but I was stuck for the longest time on a particularly tough level that was impossible to win without paying for lives or power-ups unless you were really lucky in the initial candy configuration.
Of course, even though I spent no money on it, I instantly uninstalled it when I learned of the Banner Saga clusterfuck. Fuck these guys.
Yeah almost all King games are scams. Candy Crush Saga at late stages especially the dream world are all just ridiculously luck-based affairs.
Looks promising. Will give this a try later.

They aren't available on Android yet, only iOS. All three episode will launch at the same time on the 23rd.
It'll be coming to Google Play and Amazon which is good news for those of us with a ton of coins to spend.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Is there a list somewhere of good Android games with 3rd party controller support?
I can't recall finding a list of good controller supported games, but I can give you some recommendations.
ArcaneSoul - A free Korean 2D sidescrolling ARPG inspired by Odin Sphere. Only one type of IAP and its not really obtrusive as other Freenium games. Totally recommend it. I suggest using Ellisa because her moves and sprites are satisfying to preform and look at (Her flaming lance animations are amazing and sexy). #EllisaMasterRace
Modern Combat 4 - A first person shooter similar to COD but with more weapon customization and balance than 3 and 5.
Final Freeway 2 - A 2D arcade racer in the vein of Outrun and its fun and challenging.
Another World - A well-done port of the action adventure game.
N.O.V.A 3 - What if Modern Combat was in space and you actually feel you're part of the story.
Riptide GP2 - Wave Race look-alike best known for its graphics and controller support.

It it is on the Amazon app store but it's an Amazon hardware exclusive (Kindle Fire, Fire Phone etc.).
Ah, I had assumed 1+2 were already out. Thanks for the clarification!

Oh man, Note 4 time. I need to add some legit games. I was actually thinking of trying my luck with DQ8 since this phone is so ridiculous. Maybe not, though.
What about DQ1 and DQ2? I want a fun RPG or something to play on the plane.

The same company that made Riptide GP2 also has recently released a pretty solid kart racer with controller support.
That's Beach Buggy Racing, the sequel to Beach Buggy Blitz. I had it on the Shield Portable but I uninstalled it because the first boss kept using the super power ups throughout the race, just wasn't my thing. I will respect your opinion though.
I beat the first boss on the first try... (not trying to brag, but I don't think it was suppose to be hard lol). Used my PS4 controller with the Xperia Compact Z3 on that race.
It's already out (Episode 1 at least) on the Amazon App Store. Unfortunately, only for Fire devices, which sucks.

Played a bit of it last night. Decent. Just tried to play some more and the game keeps crashing.

Most of the time, but there are exceptions (like Wayward Souls a few weeks ago, which was the FAOTD in Germany and the UK, but not in the US).

Hey guys. For fans of SRPGs like FFT, Fire Emblem and Shining Force, I would like to leave a recommendation, it's a little gem called Tactics Maiden.
Get past the rough presentation and you will have a deep and challenging strategy game with plenty of customization options and a brilliant AI.
Tactical Maiden is also a fresh take on the genre because in most scenarios you need to play on the offensive if you want to win. You need to conquer outposts (which are spawn points for your units) and pillars (which raises the unit cap of your army), and if you don't the enemy certainly will, overwhelming you in the end.
There are 85 different scenarios to play, which will take you over 30 hours of playtime. Plenty of bang for your buck. There's a story connecting the scenarios, and so far the writting is ok.
There's a lot of customization options too, with hundreds of different equipment pieces as well as dozens of different classes and special skills. Also, when your units level up you can manually distribute stat points in the attributes you want. There's plenty of depth.
The first 10 scenarios are free, if you want the full version there's a $5 unlock.
Here's a couple of reviews if you are interested:

Fun game! It's crashed on me a few times - sometimes at start and sometimes when the ads show.
A couple questions:
Any way to get rid of ads? Maybe with a purchase?
Any way to exit? I can't bring up the menu with a swipe up from the bottom, no matter how hard I try.
Again, fun game, just with some issues I would love to see resolved.
Thank You!
thanks! hmm there's no way to search for the price history of a certain app right on app-sales?

Ummm, heads up guys.. on Amazon android app store they have Terraria and Leo's Fortune on sale for 99 cents each! It is a daily deal so only a few more hours to go!
Terraria >>> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G6ZTM3Y/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Leo's Fortune >>> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N57VBRG/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Leo's Fortune >>> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N57VBRG/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I'm pretty sure there used to be a way to do that but I haven't used it for so long...
That new Lord of the Rings game is fairly underwhelming :/ Then again I don't quite know what I was expecting given the overall quality of The Hobbit: Kingdoms.

Not bad for people that don't already own those. Think it also marks the first bundle that appears to not have a half-way point where more games are unlocked.
I wonder if this free game every four days is going to replace that going forward? At the very least, I guess it would bring traffic back to the site every four days to check out their various bundles and store.

I was just thinking about buying Five Nights At Freddy's.
yeah i saw it in the store, couldn't bring myself to download it though.
maybe one day we'll get the LOTR LGC in digital format. i would spend a shitload of money on that.

I have just got a Note 4 (upgrading from a Note 2) and fancy having a go at portable gaming again.
I want a controller that is comfortable, portable, and will hold my Note 4 as part of the controller.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but App of The Day is a great app for Android. Everyday one paid app becomes free for the whole day, it includes games, tools, and various other apps. Unblock me FREE is a great puzzle app that has thousands of puzzles all for free, although there's ads every once in a while not sure if it's between every few puzzles, or if it's just a banner. Also Riddle Me That is free and has a lot of great riddles if you like riddles.
Welp, not compatible with my GS3.

Or my tablet which more than fulfills the spec requirements. :|
Edit: Going by the reviews, there are still bugs to work out.
